LONDON, *EDNESD4Y, NOVEMBER 22, 1809. No confirmation had been receives by 9overn inent when Otis Paper was.pqt to press, respeeling the important subject of Lord COLLINGW9OWS vic tory, bUt Ministers were in sanguine exp.eaatiou of receiving an account, that, we trust, wilt satisfy the eager hopes of the public, grounded upon the zeal, ability, and determined spirit of our gallant country- men. The Violet, Captain DARE, arrived at Plymouth, on Mondaylas:, fro; - n Be ion, inAmerica, in ballast, not bOng permitted to load a 'cargo for England, • in consecliwnce of the enforcement of the- .IN,9p-Inter pur A4l. The exec!gerations and this-statettents Of the Op position Wiitt-rs are so notatiot.ieil that' we believe the I'. ')licin general be . ratlier inclined to dis, trust any matter of lat.-1 which ti:k.sy.migiA happen to relate, even with the striEtest reprt to. truth, than to rely upon any of their rnisrepreseitjeiton, however t r pt.rbable 'they might appear. But th. il tf yr) . t e s are • guilty of such inconsistencies, that they abundantly justify the distrust of the Publie,.since,they-so often refute and counterad themselves. One- clay we are .told that Mr. PERCEVAL and his friends wish to keep all the posts of Government within their pwn grasp, hOwever they might aired a she W of disinterestedness, by tendering important offices to Lord GREY and Lord GRENVILLE. Then the writers admit that Mr. Pzw cvitr. was sincere in his offer, because, they - say, he wanted the weight and importance of those great charaaers to give stability and credit to his Admi nistration. Then again the Opposition Writers shift their ground, and assure the public-that an offer was made to the Noblemen in question; upon a strong presumption that _they would decline it.-- To-day the leading Paper of 'the Opposition, 'and another that affeals independence and impartiality, seem to ad in, concert, 'and assert that Mr. ReacE . vat. had aanally appointed a-young Nobleman t o the Boat(' of Controul without 'his concurrence, and that the latter has positively refu s ed the situatirin • The real fad upon this mighty charge is founded as follows .Lord FRANCIS SPEI4.OErIG'a 'few months ego,' intimated a wish to accept:. an of6c,e un der the present Administration, and that wish was recently repeated. more than once by a near re- lation of the Noble in consequence of which Loro,Fam-icts was appointed to the vacant place at the Board of Coutroul. It is true that his Lordship bas since declined accepting an Office; but certainly not .as-has Len asserted " in the mp3t angry terms ;" on t h e wrwary, we have rQasclo in be -believe that 1 expressed himself in the mask friendly manner t' towaidi the Administration. -- • NAVAL NrVIT F/4"a !he LONT;ON TE, Nov. 21, 18og.

This assertion is unfortunately too true. Children now treat their parents, their relatives, their masters, with crr tempt ; great - reasOners before they. have attained the a g e of reason ; learned oors before they, have acquired any knowledge ;' great libertines bytbre the age of Corruption they have all the vices of that society of which they are not yet member's.

The dramatic representations last night were The Suspicious Husband, and Don Juan. The comedy was heard during Three acts and much of the foUrth, with such ?attention as to shew that the. opposition ! is certainly dying away, and the public may now iti- I Bulge a hope, that they will be able to enjoy their favourite diversion without disturbance. The part of Ranger was performed by JONES, who follows the track' of LEWIS,' and who a t l eas t g i ves b us tl e an d ! spirit to the part, if not the most correct outline and colouring. Mrs. H. . JOHNSTON certainly does not I possess those polished manners which the part of 1 Clarinda requires, but tier person and vivacity enable l her to get through it with tolerable success. Mr.. Eo.EreroN acquitted himself very well in the part of Strickland, and the rest of, the claaraEters were sup ! ported with decent ability. i Towards the conclusion of the fourth act the first I notice of hostility appeared in the pit, where one of l the 0. P. squadron began to sneeze with great vio llence.- This . nasal infirmity proved contagious, for i many persons were iwmediately affected by it, .and in due time it gave way te other sounds of 4tinoyance; ! but they also proceeded entirely from burnanorgans, ' and the whole train of horns,' . hells, and Other O. P. 1 artillery, Were kept out of the :Ad. ! . This very evident diminution of ihe s warlike spirit ; may be partly ascribed to the proceedings ih die . Court of King's Bence, and partly, no doubt, to the eifea of the gross excesses of wr,ich the oppunetits 1 of the Theatre were guilty in their avacks upon ILadies in the private tx4es, as such con:ruCt must naturally have clisgpsled all liberal supporters of their cause, - and indneeil them to withdraw their Icount.inatice. Still, hriwever, there Was last \ night much host iiity directed against the private boxes, and 1 several most respeCtable Ladies were obliged to re f tire.—Two or three slight mock-contests took p!ace, 1 but 4 .f the tug of war" seems to be over, and though the usual perprn,mi s of groans, cheers, ' and a short dance, occurred 'after the dropping of the curtain, the opposition seemed itself to be conscious i that its cause is " nodding to its tall." _ 'PRE LY eu m.— The Beggar's Opera was well at: tended at this place last night, and PHILLIPPS ag4tin appeared to ulna advantage 'both in actti.g 'and singing in the part of Mac:heath. It is to be regret- ted that this Actor cannot divest hipnselt of that ogling gesticulation which almost constantly marks his demeanor, and wllich excites a sense ot ridicule that lessens the proper influence of his talents.— Mrs. iii , nor is ono ot the most languid representa tives of roily that the stage has ever seen, but sh 4 does justice to the music.
